Crack ... Yumiko startled. What was that? The girl looked around the room, her gaze stopped at the window, it was open. Cold air crossed the room and made her shiver. Yumiko kicked himself out of bed and walked towards it, apparently she hadn't closed it properly in the evening and a small gust of wind had opened it. Actually a bit strange, because it was rather quiet that night, the moon was shining at full power and the street lamps seemed almost unnecessary. Not a single car drove down the street, which almost made her feel like she was all alone in the world. Yumiko leaned against the window and took a deep breath. The street looked far too beautiful to just lie down again. The girl looked up at the moon, it seemed to get brighter and brighter. But it couldn't be, could it? She looked as closely as she could and slowly outlines seemed to form on him. They seemed to get sharper with every glance.Bullets. Yes ... they were small, glowing spheres and they kept flying towards the streets. And there were more and more, hundreds of small flares flew there. But where did they come from and what were they? Yumiko didn't know anything that resembled these things even remotely. Now they were there, the first bullets had spread around their house, they seemed to be waiting for something, but what? Yumiko couldn't hold on anymore, she absolutely had to find out what these balls meant and touch them once. She put one foot on the desk and climbed out the window, luckily the window was right under the roof. A couple of nifty climbs and she was crouched up on the roof ledge. But she wasn't close enough yet, so Yumiko took a daring jump upstairs. Ritsch ... ... silence.
Ok, now at the latest a new pajama was appropriate, because the moss from the gutter was not doing well in him. But Yumiko had her very own problem, she had managed a good jump, but it still hacked a bit on the landing, because she had slipped down the path she had just jumped, only the roof ledge and the gutter were still before that Can save a crash.She hung there panting, not going to try again now. Carefully she climbed onto the roof ledge, stood up and took another deep breath. The flares hadn't moved a bit, so they really seemed to be waiting for something. Yumiko held out a hand, a little bit was still missing to the roof depression, but the tips of her toes made it go away again, she was still a bit uncomfortable because of this jump, but that had to wait now. The rest was child's play, what else had she been training artistic gymnastics for for four years? Now the balls were close enough to touch. Each and every one of them shone beautifully, but what were they? Yumiko climbed a little further and now she saw it. In every sphere were the faces of people. From different people, each ball had its own person who seemed to live in it, but what was that supposed to mean? "Ouch! Be careful!" A bullet had flown straight to her.She was still floating so close to her that Yumiko could barely see anything. Slowly the eyes got used to the brightness and Yumiko looked directly into the sphere. At first she saw nothing, but then a girl appeared in her. No! It couldn't be. She had seen this girl before. She even knew it, very well, but it couldn't be. Yumiko held out a hand, she wanted to touch the ball. It felt like water, completely cold and pure. But suddenly the ball floated away again, as if something bad had happened to the touch, it floated back towards the moon and disappeared. “Wait!” But she didn't come back. Yumiko still didn't know what to think of it. She knew this girl, but that was impossible. Confused, she stared at the moon. "Well? What is that?" A small shadow had spread on the moon and it was getting bigger and bigger. What was that now again?Hadn't enough happened for tonight? No. Not for a long time, because slowly the shadow was so big that it looked almost frightening. You could already see something like wings and no, that can't be, three heads at once and they looked damned like dragon heads. Yumiko had never seen real kites, but the ones from the books looked exactly like the one that was flying straight towards them. It was huge, with the tail that looked like a morning star at the end, it was about thirty meters long and the wings were both easily fifteen meters long. And this monster still hadn't changed direction! In the meantime you could even see the piercing red eyes on each head, the huge horns bent backwards and the long teeth that weren't half as terrifying as the meter-long claws that the dragon hung because otherwise they were apparently too heavy. Yumiko slowly seized the fear, because the balls flew around restlessly and that meant that the dragon would most likely come exactly here.Panicked, she let herself fall on the roof ledge and snaked through the window into her room. Since the window no longer closed, she jumped straight into her bed. Yumiko pressed herself against her pillow and hoped that none of this was true, but this thought disappeared again as soon as she heard the huge wings of the dragon approaching. The window banged loudly against the wall, so the kite was already so close that the wind that caused its wings slammed the window. Yumiko closed her eyes full of fear, she would never have thought that something like this would happen to her one day, but it did. The trees rustled, Yumiko couldn't and didn't want to move, she was far too afraid that the dragon could hear her. No, she wouldn't move ... seconds passed and ... nothing happened. Absolutely nothing, no more sound penetrated from outside. Slowly the girl got up and went to the window. One look was enough to see that the bullets and the dragon were gone.Just go away.
